    FWIW, I've watched ham and GMRS radio reviews and general knowledge radio videos for about 5 months. Decided to try a practice exam and managed to get 24/35 missing a "pass" by two answers. It's a good way to learn some of the terms and concepts. Then, applying your study technique should bring an easy pass.

      @@wm4126 the battery is lithium iron phosphate so it doesn’t off gas and they’re shouldn’t be anything creating any significant heat since I sized the system correctly, but I’ll probably go back and put one in for one reason. I recently went on a trip with a friend who incorrectly sized the wiring going to his air compressor. This person also forgot to put a fuse in the circuit. It was all due to being rushed to get it all installed last minute before our trip and this person simply slipped up. On our trip, he kicked the compressor on to air up his tires and after a few minutes of it running he saw smoke coming from the vicinity of his 12v system, so he grabbed his fire extinguisher and shut down the air compressor. The wire insulation was melted, and luckily he didn’t have to end up using his extinguisher. That got me thinking about my choice of not having a vent in the battery box. Even though I have everything appropriately sized in the system, in the rare event something caused the current flow to be restricted to the point where wire insulation started melting, it would be too late if I saw smoke. Having a vent would allow the smoke to exit the box where I could detect the problem much earlier. For this reason I will be installing a vent.

      What caught my eye was the outlet sized for a diesel heater. Most have regulated 12V/10A outlets and those heaters can take up to 13A(?) when starting up. I know my Bluetti will sometimes shut off during startup, which isn't good for the heater.

      @@MrBetoybrenda all these comments are spot on for why you would build vs buy. It is quite a bit more expensive to do it this way vs buying something like an EcoFlow, but you can size the battery capacity and outlet options any way you like doing it this way. Plus since they are packouts you can lock them in place somewhere without needing to strap something like an EcoFlow down.
